WHERE Is LARA NORTH!
A Pretty Little telegraph Operator and .
Handsome Married Man.

Bloomfield, N. j., Special: Residents oi
this town, and particularly the portion
known as Glenrldge. are in q furry of ex.
element over the disappearance of pretty
Laura Moritz, the Oldest daughter OF Ticket
Agent Moritz, OF the Delaware, Lacka.
wanna & Western Railroad. It is generally
believed that she has been induced to run
away by carpenter named Edward Keath.
The girl has been the telegraph operator at
the station. About six months ago Miss
Moritz attended party given by one OF
her friends in Glenridge. There she met
Keath, who is about thirty-fve years OF
age, strongly built, quite handsome and
we'll dressed. The girl was nineteen years
Of age, very small, but
WE'LL DEVELOPED.
She was skillful operator and attended to
the duties of assistant postmistress in such
a manner that she became generally liked
by the people of Glendale. After the party
she met Keath frequently. About two
weeks ago some one saw her with him and
informed her ia ather, at the same time in
forming him that Keath had a wife and
three children. The day following
Keath called for his letters at the postof-
fee, which is in tine same building with the
ticket office. Mr.. Aioritz asked him if he
was married. He admitted that he had a
wife and three children in Asbury Park, but
said that he was going to get a divorce.
On Sunday afternoon Laura told her
father that she was going to Sunday School
and afterward was going to New York with
friend. She said If she was not back by
day morning. However, she failed to re-
turn, and her father suspected that she
might have gone off with Keath, and when
he found that the latter was also missing
his rage knew no bounds. He telegraphed
to Hoboken and New York to look out for
the clippers, but they we're not caught.

FOREIGN Values Up

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The demand
made on Saturday on the short interest
for round deliveries Of wheat did not bring
about the expected heavy purchasing in
the call board this morning to meet the
outstanding engagements. There is appa-
rently no disposition on the part of the
winning side to force values to higher
level, as short operators are inclined to &C
cept the situation and cancel their obliga-
tions at current figures. say $2.1O per CEN
tai for buying the years. 1t is understood
that q settlement on this basis is SO uni
.versal that everything is isexpected to be ad-
justed in q day or two, when the transfer
books will show q clean record. The leos-
son has been a costly one to some losers.
The deal is believed to be practically over
though it will take few days to determine
whether the values will soften or not.

Jackey Bribery Day.

New YORK, June 6.-To-day was busy
day in court where Jacob Sharp is beinl
tried for bribery. One hundred and sixty.
one persons have been summoned as jurors
in the case, but had not responded when
their names were called. Had they not
been ordered to appear and show cause
| why they should not be punished for con-
tempt? The court has also set apart this
morning for investigation the charges made
by the District Attorney that attempts to
corruptly influence jurors have been made.
Juror Hudson said an acquaintance named
Hoagland had approached him on the sub
ject of the trial. The court ordered war.
rant for Hoagland's apprehension. George
Bluff testified that before he had received
the notice two Young men called upon
him and said: "You are on Sharp's jury,
and we wish we were on the jury we conld
make from $4,000 to $4,000. They
said could get to be foreman; I thought
this all foolishness, and said so. They
said they wished they had the chance
had. l swore at them and left them"
George M. Sutton, who had been excused
from the box on peremptory of the cha[
lenge of defense, testified that the man
named Wanner called at bis Office and
asked me if wanted to get off the jury;
said did; and he asked if l was for the
prosecution, aud said I did not want to
talk to him. He said then you will get of
the next day."
The court said it would issue warrant
for Warmers arrest.
Juror Raymond said George w. Lynsh,
of Christopher and Tenth street, was an &C.
quaintance in conversation Saturday.
Lynch said there was a man in my neigh
borhood on the jury and he wanted to
know if I would see him and ask him to be
lenient with the old man; met Lynch again
and he said had placed him in an embar-
RAISING position by not acting on his sug-
gestion, and asked me what was going to
swear to. said was going to tell the
truth or nothing. He said it was a bad
case. This closed the evidence. The court
announced that a warrant would be issued
against Lynch. Hoagland and Warren will
be indicted for embracery and Lynch for
attempt, and they will be tried by jury.
Delinquents who failed to respond to the
call for jury duty the court said would be
arrested. Among those who refused to an
swer were Tony Pastor, Richard K. Fox,
Louis L. Lorillard, Daniel E. Dickinson
and Hamilton NICK. Towmbly. The work
of getting the jury then continued.

Syracuse bv His Wife.

Action Against . Society Young Man Of
Syracuse bv His Wife.
Syracuse, N. Y, Special: DR.. George L.
Curtiss, a popular and wealthy young den
tist, who had always passed as single
man and who had been a social favorite,
brought out that he was married several
years ago to Miss Alice D. Watson of OK.
Mass, daughter of Mrs. Clarissa d. Wat
son, woman of wealth and high social
connections. The facts were put into legal
form in suit for separation and main
tenance begun by the unacknowledged wife.
The parties first met at Old Orchard Beach,
in August, 1883. Their friendship devel-
oped into an undue intimacy and .
promise of marriage. They were married
in Albany early in 1884. At his request
the marriage was kept secret. In 1885
DR.. Curtiss went to Philadelphia and took
graduated in dentistry. Miss Watson, as
she chooses to call herself, returned to her
home in Oxford, to wait until he had e.
tablished himself here, when she was to be
acknowledged as his wife. HIS repeated
promises to come to her, and the TACT
reaching her ears that he was in love with
Miss Jennie E. Richmond, whom he met in
Philadelphia. caused her to come to Syra-
cuse and bring an action against him. Cur
tiss claims, with reference to the plaintiffs
charges, that he married her with the un-
derstanding that they were not to live to-
gether as husband and wife, Miss Watson
saying that she merely wished to provide
for the egstimacy of her offspring. The
young woman denies this and insists that
she has scores of letters to prove her vsr-
sion OF the story.

is to prevent Catholic laboring mon from
drifting off from the church on account OF
their association with Protestants. and to
keep them from adopting theories which

SALISBURY GROWS WEARY.
He Has Discovered That Oosroion Can
Work Two Ways-Rumors Of His
EARLY Retirement from Once.

He Has Discovered That Oosroion Can
Work Two Ways-Rumors OF His
EARLY Retirement from Once.
London Special Cable: From hints which
have leaked out during the last two days
it is gathered that Lord Salisbury is con.
tempiating retirement after the celebration
Of the Queens Jubilee. The Premier is
credited with having told a friend a few
days ago that he was wearied OF public life
and exasperated over the persistent, and in
many respects successful, policy Of oh.
struction pursued by the opponents OF the
Government in Parliament, and should
seek relief in general Parliamentary elec-
tion. From the same source it is learned
that this feeling is shared by several OF
Lord Salisbury's ministerial colleagues
and that while bending every effort toward
applying coercion to Ireland, the Govern
ment is itself subjected to its Unionist
allies.
As THE PRICE OF THE SUPPORT
of the Unioniste to the Governments Irish
policy, it is said the Unionists have from
the beginning interfered with and finally
dictated it's foreign policy, until not only
are the Ministers themselves becoming restr-
i've, but maly powerful influential Tories
not in Office are demanding a cessation OF
the intermeddling, and an appeal to the
country suggests the only means OF break
ing the hold of the Unionists upon the Con-
servative throat. Many OF the Unionist
members were elected with the understand
ing that they would not support coercion
but Lord Salisbury believes that new
election would result in Conservative ma
jority and is willing to take the chances.
Should a Conservative majority be returned
it is intimated that Lord Salisbury would
resign and request the Queen to summon
Lord Harrington to form coalition Cabi-
net, which likely, in the circumstances, the
latter would do. II, on the other hand, the
Government should again fall into the
hands of Mr.. Gladstone it is understood
that Lord Salisbury would retire to pri-
vate life, never again to accept Office.
